Cedar : adds a clean scent
Peppermint and Eucalyptus : good for colds and sinus problems
*Rose geranium: good for sheets, very romantic
Sweet Orange: Helps with removing stains, and whitening laundry.
Tea Tree : anti fungal and antibacterial. Great for washing underwear and socks.
Lavender : pillow cases, as it's very relaxing.
Lemon: another whitener
* also Ylang-ylang and Jasmine.
You can add the essential oils by mixing 10 drops to 1 cup of baking soda which by the way is a natural water softener. Or during really stinky times add a few drops of essential oil to 1 cup of vinegar. I use this method a lot during salmon season, as my 'salmon towels' get really bad. But when I use the vinegar rinse during the rinse cycle all the smell is gone.
